Johannes Hartog (Dutch: [ˈjoːɧan ˈɧartɔx]; Baarn, 16 May 1912 – Salzburg, 20 May 1997)[1] was the first editor-in-chief of the bi-weekly news magazine, Amigoe di Curaçao, served from 1940 to 1946. Under his leadership, Amigoe transitioned into a daily newspaper in March 1941.[2][3]

From 1950 to 1972,[4] after his tenure at the at the newspaper, Hartog assumed the role of director and librarian of the Public Library of Aruba. His dedication played a vital role in establishment of the library. He received recognition for his numerous achievements, with a notable focus on his significant contributions to the field of history, particularly his publications on Dutch Caribbean history.[5]

Biography

[edit]

Johannes Hartog was born in Baarn on May 16, 1912, into a devout Protestant family, later converting to Catholicism.[4] He attended grammar school and pursued studies in history. In 1937, at the age of twenty-five, he earned his Ph.D. from Western University in London with a thesis on church history titled "The Sacrifice of the Church".[3]

Initially, he intended to become an orientalist and enrolled as a post-graduate student at the Oriental Institute in Rome, specializing in the Balkans. However, the outbreak of the Second World War disrupted his studies, leading him to leave Italy and eventually find his way to Curaçao, where his brother was residing.[3]

Hartog arrived in Curaçao after June 1940. Monseigneur (Mgr.) Petrus Innocentius Verriet, the bishop, entrusted him with the leadership of the Missionary publication, Amigoe di Curaçao.[6] In June 1946, Hartog requested an honorable discharge and continued to manage the newspaper until a successor could take over.[7]

Authorities mysteriously refused him the required papers to re-enter the territory, despite his significant contributions to journalism and social welfare.[8] On Monday, November 4, 1946, Hartog left Curaçao on the Norwegian tanker Evita.[8][6] A successor, C.M.J. Dony, mayor of Huissen (1934–1947), was appointed in November 1946.[9][10] In 1947, the acting Attorney General personally informed Hartog that he may be readmitted in the normal manner at a later date.[11]

In 1948, Hartog married Elisabeth Wouters, a teacher, nurse, and daughter of the former governor G.J.J. Wouters [Wikidata] of the Netherlands Antilles (1936–1942).[12][13]

In 1948, with the initiative of the board of Stichting voor Culturele Samenwerking (Sticusa [nl] or Foundation for Cultural Cooperation), Hartog played a key role in establishing the Cultural Center Aruba [nl] (CCA) and Cultural Center Curaçao (CCC).[14] From 1950 to 1972, after his tenure at the at Amigoe, Hartog served as the librarian at the Public Library of Aruba and authored and published approximately sixty books.[15][16]

Cultural Centers

[edit]

In 1949, Hartog assumed the role of the head of the Cultural Center Curaçao, responsible for overseeing the Sticusa between the Netherlands, Indonesia, Suriname and the Antilles.[17]

Historian author

[edit]

Alongside his role as the library director, Johan Hartog authored and published not only historical works but also travel accounts and narratives. The catalyst for major historical works about Aruba and the Dutch Antilles came from book dealer Dirk Jan de Wit. He approached Johan Hartog to write a book about Aruba due to the existing interest among the local population and Lago employees.[16]

Hartog's former home, La Piccola Marina (Oranjestad). The house is named after a bay on the island of Capri where they spent their honeymoon in 1948.

Additional works

[edit]

During his time in Curaçao, Dr. Hartog assumed multiple significant roles alongside his leadership of Amigoe. He served as the Chairman of the Curaçao Press Association, a board member of the Mgr. Niewindt association, and contributed editorials to Lux (1943–1946), a Catholic Curaçao magazine.[18] Furthermore, he held positions on the Supervisory Board of the Public Library, served as Secretary of the Fagginger Auer Committee,[19] and actively participated in committees related to the establishment of the Curaçao Museum and various other projects. Dr. Hartog also made valuable contributions to Curaçao's education as a teacher in the Catholic primary teacher training course.[6]

Distinctions

[edit]

Johan Hartog's extensive body of work has established him as a trailblazer in Aruban and Antillean historiography. His contributions earned him several awards.[20]
